Weight-loss jabs – latest news

You may have seen the recent news that from the 23rd June GP Surgeries will be able to prescribe weight-loss jabs, Mounjaro also known as Tirzepatide.

Unfortunately, this service has not yet been commissioned in Swindon and therefore we are not able to offer this service to patients at the surgery.

This does not affect those patients who are currently prescribed Mounjaro for glycaemic management in type 2 diabetes.

Statement from the ICB: Information for patients on availability of new weight-loss treatment – Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire ICB

If you wish to raise any questions or concerns regarding the commissioning of this service, please contact BSW ICB Patient Advice & Liaison Service (PALS) compliments and complaints – Bath and North Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire ICB
